Review #279; Bourbon #86: Ancient Ancient Age (2L Barrel Extra Ageing)

Ancient Ancient Age aged 2 weeks in a virgin oak 2L barrel.

This review as done blind, and I was revealed the bottle after these notes were written.

ABV: ?????

Nose: Slight funk, brown sugar, earthy, acetone

Palate: Thin watery mouthfeel, Cinnamon, oak, acetone

Finish: Short, slight warmth, brown sugar. Fades quickly.

Rating: 3/10

Guess: This is thin and watery with not much flavor. It feels like it’s a bourbon proofed down to 40% aged a minimal time. Lots of oak, acetone and tannins here.

Reveal: Ancient Ancient Age aged 2 weeks in a virgin oak 2L barrel.

Seems about right, I like AAA for the price, but this takes the things I like about AAA and shoves an oak block in it.
